Newbie here, so it may not come to a surprise to older gamers on this forum...

Browsing through Murat's réserve de cavalerie , I'm gratified to see that the general in charge of the 1ère division de dragons à cheval is.... ME :D ! and due for a promotion to boot :w00t: ! Not my portrait though...

Welcome aboard General Klein! :thumbsup:
Send a picture of yours to AGEOD and maybe they can "correct" the wrong portrait ;) :D

D Klein appears in several campaigns, only checked 1806-1807, but should be the same for the rest. He has a portrait and is correct.


Are you talking about D Klein or another general?

:confused: :)

I do !

I thought it was an easter egg, the game picking up the name of the registered gamer (my name is Dominique Klein which does not sound very early 19th centurish IMO) to give it to a commander at random. But it seems that there was a Dominique Klein after all with le petit caporal. Never heard of him before. As they say C'est la meilleure !

I thought you were saying that the portrait of General Klein was incorrect :wacko:


Dominique Louis Antoine Klein was his name, read more here, I suppose you are french

It seems everyone understood wrong! :bonk:
I though domkle was just joking about the easter egg thing
That he was just surprised to discover that a real Napoleonic general was called like him. :D
My "wrong" portrait comment was a joke too.
Cheers!
